True/False: A black hole is black because it is dark in space.
False-It is black because its gravity pulls in everything and doesn't allow it to escape, including light.
True/False: If Black Hole J2157 were sitting in the center of our Milky Way Galaxy (instead of Sagittarius A), it would be visible from Earth, but no life would be able to exist on our planet due to all the X-ray light it emits.
